To Pertur or Not to Pertur, Thus the Quaestio · The Paul Truesdell Podcast

• Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 0:00 We're only about a month behind what I said we were going to do. Paul Truesdell, II 0:04 I don't remember what that was at this point. So where are we talking about? Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 0:07 We can talk about anything we want to talk. But I think we should chat a little bit about the promo that I did, which was the paperwork with Biden and Trump, and hence, and we were going to talk about how this is really nothing new. Paul Truesdell, II 0:23 Yeah, yeah. It's when it's about Trump, it's a big deal. When it's about Biden, it's a big deal. But as everybody comes to learn, what I, as you can confirm as my, my few witnesses on this one, that I said, this is just a, this is going to be a mess of of policy, failures or lack of procedure, this isn't going to be a probably anything malicious. If it's one, it's a problem, if it's to probably still problem but less likely. And now that you got vice presidents and former presidents, and it turns out, this has been a problem going back for a long time. It's it's just a lack of good policy and procedure, in my view. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:07 Yeah, one of the things you'd mentioned and we've talked about this before, is that Alexander Hamilton was a unique individual in the very first administration. Let's see who is that guy that was our first president. Was it Abraham Lincoln? The dragon slayer? Yep. It was or he was a vampire slayer? Yeah. Something like that. Paul Truesdell, II 1:26 Yeah. As what in the Washington administration, he was head of treasure, I believe. Yep. And yeah, when he when he left office, he was really mad. Because if my memory is somewhat accurate, what Adams won? Yeah. And then he had that duel with Aaron Burr. Now that came later. It came later. But But Adams won the presidential election, because it was an uncontested seat first time. And he meaning Hamilton. Turns out he was losing it because he was thinking he was going to be I can't really, I can't really exact politics, though. It's been a long time since I've read the books on this. But basically, he ended up what basically stealing a bunch of documentation out of out of the his offices and the reconstructed records that came afterwards figured out that he either misappropriated or embezzled millions of dollars back then, whatever that's worth today, surprise, surprise, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 2:27 surprise. phrase, Gomer, goo. Shazam comes to mind. Yeah, Paul Truesdell, II 2:32 it's like, well, people who fight the hardest in the political race, especially one that shouldn't really mean a lot. I guess. They usually have something to hide. But yeah, misappropriating documents and things like that, if or forgetting about them in the case of these politicians. I mean, I think I told you from day one, like with the Trump thing, where you're telling me that Trump specifically picked files and put them in a box, then I don't believe you. That's that's done. Obviously, Biden, same case, Pence, same case, and Clintons, and I'm sure the former Bush Administration's and Reagan and everybody else going back to the beginning of time, has had the same problem. This is definitely a case of somebody came through to clean out the offices of these people went before during the transition. And there wasn't somebody with clearance standing there to look at everything, to make sure that certain things didn't get put in a box. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 3:27 Well, you called it you call it from the very beginning, you said this will be simply a lack of whoever is in charge of doing the paperwork and securing things are not doing their job. And I've mentioned to you I said I totally agree. And in the world of broker dealers for securities, same thing with insurance agencies, basically, you have compliance officers, of course, and everybody says, oh, you know, you're a compliance officer, you're a compliance officer, you are paid by the company, you serve at the discretion of the benevolent dictator. And if you do your job, too well, you're fired. You have, let's be honest about it. Paul Truesdell, II 4:05 But the government doesn't have such problems. You have a you know, some people call it the deep states, you know, we got to give scary names to everything. Or as others, we'll call it, the steady state. There are some other phrases for that. I like that one. And but it's basically it's the permanent bureaucrats that the unelected bureaucrats if you're listening to right one talk radio, that's how they'll talk about them. But the people who are there to basically transition on one administration to the other or one, one head of office or department to another, because believe it or not, those people don't have enough time to learn about all the intricacies of these offices. You know, they're there for you know, have a cabinet might be there for two years. A president if they're lucky is or you know, what, eight, so, you know, how many people can totally master the arcane Under accuracy of just one of these departments in eight years, so you have to have people to figure it out. And in this case, why aren't there? Weren't there transition experts in the government who have the big books that they go send, you know, the intern with the clearances from the FBI, that does, you know, the counterintelligence, you know, has all the clearances with all the departments to go through and just go down when they go and clean up the president's office, or the vice president or, or the State Department or any of these people and just make sure that nothing that's not personal is leaving, especially classified material, obviously, that person doesn't exist? Because if it did, then it wouldn't have happened. And they also would make follow up checks on all the other places that are residency residences where these people have been right, they would check, you know, his office, and, you know, in the case of Trump, they would check his office in Florida, and they would check in other places that you may or may have had documents. Well, here's the thing is, obviously they keep track of those things, because they have to put equipment, you know, secure communications equipment, all that stuff on right, or where's the secret service person that makes? That would make sense? Let's Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 6:03 see, that's the thing. I'm going to shotgun whole bunch of things. One, the Secret Service is there to protect and secure the president United States period. They're not they cannot testify against him. They can't they can't do anything. Sure, the President I states can put a gun to somebody's head and blow their brains out Secret Service has keep your mouth shut. That's not what they're there for. And when somebody hears this podcast, they're gonna go, this is not true. No, it is true. And it has to be that way. Because their job has to solely be the protection of this guy. It has to be. I mean, that's the heads of state had been assassinated by protection personnel for years. And we haven't had that yet since the beginning of time, exactly since the beginning in time, but now the thing is, I had an interesting conversation with a person who is in law enforcement will just say that, and I'm not gonna say whether he's active or retired, either man or woman, we're not gonna go go there. But the thing that I thought was really interesting that it was said to me, a lot of people in this agency, current and past are livid over the way Trump had a subpoena served on him. And they kind of came in like they would do with other people. And Biden just kind of had one of these walkthroughs. And I, you know, when we talked about I said, you know, that's just I'm not gonna go there. But Paul Truesdell, II 7:21 the benefits of being sitting president, but let me just enforcement treated with kid gloves. Oh, sure. As they did Trump, I mean, you know, if if the connections and the improprieties were properly investigated, against a non president, oh, man, that person would be in jail. Oh, of course, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 7:39 it would be a perp walk. Here's my point is that people that are in the federal government, at least the few that I've talked to are talking about this in how is it was handled so radically different? Okay, shotgun. Shotgun is? Well, what about Paul Ryan? What about all these people who have served in the House in a Senate on these, you know, secret committees? Yeah. What about Nancy Pelosi? I mean, her husband and as situation, I'm not going to get into the the vulgar pneus of it, but that you got some weird stuff going on. And so if I'm going to steal secrets, I don't necessarily mean there's lots of ways Paul Truesdell, II 8:20 Oh, so my understanding is with with everybody who is not basically president and vice president. Maybe I'm wrong. But my understanding is that they have extremely tight protocols that they follow with those people. This is why I said this is a lack of Protocol, or failure protocol, because with those people, they can't take anything. There's no such thing as Nancy Pelosi taking documents to her house. There's no such thing as a congressman on a committee someplace taking things. They go to a skiff, a Sikkim, a C extraordinare. Apartment, whatever it has, that's a silly acronym for basically it's a secure digitally. And it's a secure facility. Basically, if your documents meaning you see them when you're in there, you take no copies eyes only, no electronics, it you can't be spied on, you know, it's got a bunch of active and passive measures. Four Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 9:12 has a raised floor. And it's like, no, it doesn't it has a lot of like I Paul Truesdell, II 9:17 said, it has active and passive measures to prevent surveillance, and monitoring. And so you go to these facilities, and they're there in the Capitol building, they're in different places around DC, obviously, have different buildings for meetings and things exist. But obviously, certain documents that are you know, eyes only that's that's what happens with them, in the case of the president and vice president, wherever they're at has to be treated as one of these facilities. So that's why there's or at least there's an area on on these properties is treated like this for these meetings. So that's what that's, you know, people talk about all the millions and millions that are spent by secret service on Trump's house or Pence and all these different things, that's why they do them. Because you have to have a place where, you know, you know, what's hitting the fan, and you have to get there, you know, explain or display information that otherwise would require a, you know, special clearance. So, you know, so I think that I think this is why this is happening, because the whole White House is viewed as a secure facility, or at least most of the main areas are. So especially since you don't have tours or anything like that anymore, out of any seriousness. And so yeah, I mean, the President can take something from the Oval Office or some other, you know, meeting room that they have either above or below ground, and he drags it in the portfolio up to his desk in his private residence and, you know, reviews it or whatever, and we're sitting in a drawer or something to review later, because he has a copy, right? The problem again, is Where's the guy to, during the transition to come through and clean all this stuff up? Because they don't have a problem? They do it if it's, I've never heard of any severe secure breach at the White House or somebody stole documents before. But obviously, if you have an intern, who's you know, part of the President's reelection campaign is real happy to help the President move out. And he's just shoving stuff in boxes? Or you have, you know, some moving company. I assume people that have been background check, but who knows? Shoving just drawers of stuff and who knows? Yeah, I mean, who Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 11:32 I mean, Hillary Clinton had FBI and tax files, literally. Oh, we had them under our bed and didn't know it. Right. Exactly what I mean, Cecil undo. So a couple quick history things. When Lyndon Johnson left the office of the presidency. They literally did call, I guess, Mayflower or the Acme moving company. I don't know who they called. But when he moved back to Texas, the old Kuta took priceless antiques out of the White House. I mean, he literally, yeah. And he's literally stripped of White House of Furniture. And went back to back to the LBJ ranch ladybird knew what the old coot was. He has had several heart attacks. He had his first big heart attack when he was I think, a member of Congress or could have been his first year as a as a senator. I'll come back to landslide. Lyndon just a minute. But yeah, you know, I mean, it's just it is what it is. And slowly the Secret Service kept bringing things back and back and back eventually died and annex and was very gracious to Lady burden. Like, yeah, if you're not using things you need to kind of come back. Yeah. Paul Truesdell, II 12:38 Obviously, that level of Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 12:41 hubris, Paul Truesdell, II 12:43 or, or lack thereof on the on the part of the Nixon administration really shows you the, let's just call it politeness that they extended back then that would never be extended today. Obviously, everything's way too divisive. And, you know, just dumb. But yeah, I mean, the whole thing is just a mess. I mean, in my view, it doesn't really look bad on any one of the individual presidents anymore. Now, it just looks bad as on the system as a whole. It's like, really, you don't have all you don't have a guy that has a procedure book to make sure that we get all the documents back. And the other thing is like you print off a top, so you have a top secret dossier. For whatever reason, right? You they know where every copy of that is, and whether it's been destroyed or not. And this is part of the highly detailed processes that they have for, for these higher classification documents, especially for I can't remember the acronym for it. But it's basically it's it's higher than top secret. It's basically for things that have sourcing from human intelligence assets. It's the highest classification they have. Because obviously, if somebody figures out what's going on, they're like, people's heads are coming off. And anyway, where I would say on on this, you know, where is the one or two or three week review where you go back, and you make sure that every bit of documentation that was given to the administration is, is recalled, regardless of whether they want it or not, doesn't really matter? You've had enough time to absorb the information, you need to get everything back. Well, that leads me I'm of the opinion that I mean, I would take these things if I was if that was if I was, you know, hubris on my part. If I was president, I would look at these things. Okay. Yep. Okay, I would make my notes, which are technically classified pieces of information, but you know, they would be reference for my own mental memory, they wouldn't be line for line copies of things. And I just give I give this crap back to him. What what do I need it for? I just needed to make a decision. I don't need to keep this stuff around. And obviously, a lot of these people, you know, they, they have to, you know, they rub their hands and they they deliberate and they have to consider and all this stuff. It's like no, that's not your job. Well, he chooses to do Take the information I have take the take the options they present you with, and make them make the best decision you can make with it. Yeah. I still here to look at the satellite photos of this thing. Like, who cares? That is not important to you. Right? Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 15:13 Well, I would still like to know if if anybody has gone knocked on the door of the Jimmy Carter and Rosalyn. In, in the Paul Truesdell, II 15:22 I'm thinking person that wouldn't take anything. Um, see, I Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 15:25 think the opposite the guy was a bookworm. I mean, that's one of the things if you look Paul Truesdell, II 15:29 at saying I don't think he would have taken anything I think he's like, he's like, he's like, detail oriented enough. He, like went through all his files and the weeks before he left the White House, maybe? I mean, it's like, it's like, he's so detailed. I mean, he might have notes that are probably bad, you know, he might have you might have like, personal sketches of the the greys or whatever. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 15:49 We'll just make it 57 signs. Yeah. But yeah, but but here's the thing, if if Biden has him, it Trump has him. Pence hasm. Wouldn't you think that the least I would be doing a press conference saying, okay, due to the totality of circumstances, we have sent teams to every president and vice president and even Dan Quayle going back to Bush 41. I mean, just let's go and make sure that everybody is there's a name you don't hear very often. Dan Coyle like that one? Well, I, Paul Truesdell, II 16:23 my understanding is they found documents over the years in like presidential libraries and stuff. Oh, sure. Because, you know, volumes of documents, you know, just stuff being filed away, and oh, crap, this is actually a top secret thing. And I have to give it back. Why it was like Bush 43. They Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 16:41 have all the things and all the things that they got out. Why couldn't they get who killed JFK? Paul Truesdell, II 16:49 Yes, of course. The NFL to do it. How to do it. It's just the inevitable question who killed JFK? Honestly, at this point doesn't really matter. It's like who killed Roger Rabbit? Who cares? Well, there's Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 17:02 another thing that inevitably always comes up right? Well, did Hitler have anything to do with killing JFK? So we got we got Hitler in Paul Truesdell, II 17:11 there could have if he escaped in the secret submarines and you'd never know like, went to Antarctica or Argentina or someplace like the like the super conspiracy people think, you know, they've got like the I love those bad. Photoshops have him like sitting at a table at like some big cafe in Argentina. And everybody's like, Oh, it's totally real. It's like, yeah, it totally it wasn't made to sell newspapers. Never though, news people never do that. They're of the utmost integrity. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 17:37 So at some point, some poor sucker needs a look like him grow little stash and just go to Starbucks. And I saw Adolf Hitler at Starbucks and Ocala. So here's the thing if you're if you're a spy, right? If you're a spy, you know, you you got to think about this. Why should I work for the USA? If going back to Jimmy Carter? He appointed Stansfield Turner. I happened to have family member at New Stansfield Turner very, very well back in the day, and he didn't like him, then they didn't like him afterwards. And he you know, he's now dead and rotting in a grave, but Stansfield Turner, in essence, terminated a lot of our assets. But he did it by way of a non secure communications that was listened into by the Russians. And a lot of people died. A lot of operators died not only in Iran, but in Russia and everywhere else. Oh, well, oops. Oopsy daisy. And sometimes you want to say, you know, needs to be consequences for your actions. Even if you're, you're just a dumbass. Paul Truesdell, II 18:43 But was that the question I always have is, take the other side of it. Was that not the intention? You know, I've never thought of that. I mean, oh, just think about everything that's been led up to to this past year. Oh, the Americans are so stupid that we don't have any intelligence assets anywhere. All the Russians are so great at spying and, and all these things, and oh, man, we're just so dumb. We never know anything. Meanwhile, it seems like we know exactly where they were gonna send every missile on the invasion of Ukraine, to the point that they were able to move air assets, like minutes before the missiles were launched. But yeah, you know, we're dumb. We don't know what's going on. We're bad at intelligence. We're just we're just big stupids over here. We just just just pat us on the belly and feed us a little Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 19:29 bit, ya know, but you know, 20 Paul Truesdell, II 19:31 I certainly 1000s anything about this situation? And that's all classified still. So Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 19:35 I know that at least several 1000 People were lost. And it's just, you know, I mean, it's just in the grand scheme of things. A couple 1000. Here, a couple 1000 is not a big deal. Paul Truesdell, II 19:44 The other thing is they're also human intelligence sources. You know, maybe there were no Yeah, who knows? But, you know, the reality is, if I, if if we actually if so, if you're sitting back, you know, in a hypothetical circumstance, and you know, you have to be extremely Machiavellian about these types of decisions, but you know if you know, oh, crap, we have a very serious leak here. Oh, right. Why not intentionally leak? It's a it's a, it's a needle in the haystack type situation make it worse. Right? You have one thing that leaks and solve. And it's like all this other shit leaks. How do you figure it out? Make it when you have a problem, sometimes making it worse makes it better. Yeah. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 20:24 Well, here before we wrap this segment up, what do you think about regular business? All of your fortune 500 companies think they even come close to document a security to Paul Truesdell, II 20:37 I'm sure some of them have much higher security. A good example is all the outsourced government stuff that is. So you know, one thing that's really obvious, anybody who really understand how the government gets around its own rules and regulations over the past. Also, since since the end of I guess, I guess, I guess since the 50s, probably, people started figuring out FOIA requests and all these things. So the problem is, there's a lot of stuff the government has to be careful about putting in writing because people are gonna find out about it. So the easiest way to deal with that, especially when it comes to r&d and things is just don't do it yourself. So you have companies who their entire job, Lockheed, and Raytheon and all the above. Yeah, like, like cayenne companies, they're, you know, there's a lot of them that do some very serious work that is way more secret than anything the government does. Yep. And so they have to be better than the government at securing some of this information. Because that's their job, because they can't be subpoenaed. They can't be FOIA requested for this information, like its proprietary trade secret. And it is what it is. A good example is like, the new was a b 27, or whatever the new PB 21 Long Range strategic bomber. When they made the announcement, one of the things they talked about was how it came under budget and ahead of schedule by a lot. And they talked about how the things that a word, that word, you know, the past 35 years of r&d that they've been doing for the Defense Department is prepared, like they were able to take lots of stuff that was built for other platforms, because there's so many generations into this. And they're able to do that because it's secret. They didn't have to go out and invent something new because it is now freely available in the public market. And they have to one up it. They just they have the secret sauce, they can take that, modify it for the intended purpose and apply it. So as far as in general, no, I don't think so. I think most fortune 500 companies probably leak like a sieve. But, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 22:43 of course, so years ago, before there was all this big push to digitize everything medical, I served on a topic to Policy Institute. And would you say so that's worked out? Well, yeah, it worked out really well. You know, I remember these people saying, oh, it's, you'll be able to go anywhere and get care and they'll know exactly what's going on. And, and, you know, the life expectancy and all your drugs and everything will be available and and we have the vigil and Paul Truesdell, II 23:11 all your drug interactions and everything on the spot. Meanwhile, how many times have you gone to a doctor or something like what medications are on? It's like, really? I have to tell you. Or me? How many times have I gone? And the first thing person asked, Oh, what are you allergic to? I'm like nothing. What medication? Why do you have to ask? It's it should be my file. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 23:32 Yeah. And we'll all have our elderly clients. We have clients that are old. We have clients that are young, very few. We have clients, a lot elderly clients, a lot. And all of that client acquisition that we did in the oh my gosh, 90s and early 2000s These folks have are dying off and man, the law firm is just we're humping. I mean, right? I mean, it was for busy. A lot of business. Problem is we see so many people go to their doctors. And it's just gross malpractice because nobody reads a chart. I'm not being Oh, no, that's not necessarily exaggeration. Paul Truesdell, II 24:10 Well, no. And the crazy part is, is just imagine trying to maintain a good, not good amount of knowledge on all these different drugs that all these people are on. Like, you need technology to aid you with this because there's just so much information. But they're not even doing that. Like they're coming in like, oh, what medication you're on. Are you on anything new? And it's like I don't you know, why isn't? Why isn't there a system to deal with? Well, here's Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 24:33 the thing, you would think that a good medical practice would have a pharmacist on staff, right? You would think they would have somebody who's holistic on staff you'd have, you'd want to have like a team like, Hey, Bob, what do you think about this? But here's the problem. Do you know how few pharmacists are? There's a huge shortage. Paul Truesdell, II 24:51 Nobody has done that job. And the people that actually do it are far and few between, because most places won't let them do it. They If they're and they just run an automated system that feeds pills into bins and they fill the bottles from the bins, it's, it's brain dead. It's not they're not real pharmacist like they used to be. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 25:11 No, they're not. They're not compounding, compounding anything anymore. No, but but here's the thing. I mean, we have a friend Jim, and he's in recruiting and he's his area of expertise is pharmacy where it's hard. It's really hard in places like Alaska. Oh my god, it's impossible. Paul Truesdell, II 25:30 Yeah, that makes sense. Well, in general, like because of Walgreens and Walmart, they're cutting back hours, all those things, the consolidation in the pharmacy business by these big faceless organizations. You know, the wages for being pharmacists are not what they were other trash, but the education levels are so high, extremely high. That even know they don't do that anymore. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 25:56 We Okay, so let you know what's going to happen. I can guarantee this is going to happen. They're going to have you're going to have pills in a box. You're going to have like the armored pill box car come in, they're going to deliver it right can you see this? And you're going to have a pair of farm assess a pair of pharmacists, I know vessels name or not, but somebody who has like they got a lot of training, but not the whole thing. And they're just there to fill the pills and give it to you and take the money. Paul Truesdell, II 26:22 I think a large number of these facilities are mostly automated anyways, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 26:26 it'd be red boxes outside of Walgreens Paul Truesdell, II 26:28 boxes for your pills. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 26:30 Get the blue box for your pills and the red box for your movie. Paul Truesdell, II 26:34 Play those things are still around and get the white box you get your Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 26:36 your your drink your favorite drink with a big warning says if you're taking certain drugs don't drink alcohol. Of course then you got to have your vape and then your your pot next to that. So you're Paul Truesdell, II 26:49 vaping your pot and then you get in your self driving car. Yeah. takes you home. Yeah. So you can take your pills and drink or alcohol and do your drugs on the right order. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 26:59 So everything you do, everything you do is monitored and drudge has a thing that the United Kingdom army spied on COVID critics. No, really, Paul Truesdell, II 27:09 you're telling me the intelligence agencies, spy on its own citizens never, never, ever? Oh, this like I imagine most Americans totally forget that all of your phone calls are the Congress allowed? No, no. The intelligence agencies can't gather anymore? No, they forced the phone companies to do it. And they just buy it from them. Yeah. And then when they need access, that they serve the phone companies with a warrant. So it's very legal. And then a few years back to what I said earlier about private industry being able to do things that the government can't, they found a loophole around it. We weren't. We weren't everybody's phone calls. We wanted to enter data. But we'll make private industry keep it. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 27:49 You know, there was a guy who interviewed Zuckerberg few years back when Comey was head of FBI. Yes, you remember that that story where the is like a New York Times a Rolling Stone? Somebody's interviewing Zuckerberg and you know, in Facebook in the headquarters and all of a sudden you heard this and a guy Hey, how you doing? What's going on? Man? I was just in the area was I just want to say hi, it was Comey. Like, you know, all home Oh, all home town meeting types. Like, yeah, Paul Truesdell, II 28:22 they miss out of that story is why why is Comey able to just appear on the Facebook campuses without anybody noticing? Because the FBI has an office on Facebook campus is Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 28:31 not supposed to say that the FBI Yes, the office on Facebook and Twitter and ticky tacky and everything else. Paul Truesdell, II 28:37 Well not tick tock tick tock has literally China histories. Why they don't want them around. They also don't want them around because they're actively tick tock to push social trends. And something that's bad. Yes, no, really? No, really. You think anybody that can control a large portion of people screentime not being highly vetted and being controlled as you think that's bad. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 29:05 I was listening to a podcast and I think it was one of the one of the podcasts from Joe Rogan. I was driving and the guy was on there talking about his whole his guest was talking about how or maybe even Joe was saying it's really intelligent people doctors, lawyers, engineers, you know, plumbers, electricians. sure everybody's on their phone and he was talking about tick tock and it's like, Hey, man, did you see this? I'm way late for my appointment. I've been on this thing for like two hours. It's like a rabbit hole and in adults. Paul Truesdell, II 29:37 I saw thing I saw thing earlier today. Somebody has talked we talked about this earlier. There was a discussion. There's a discussion among some people about how I believe it was the potential banning of tick tock domestically is people are currently it's being talked about more actively again, because all All the things that people the government in particular has tried to do to put a chilling effect on different things tic TOCs doing, it's just, it's not having any effect. So they're gonna have to actually take some action likely. And anyway, point is, is that the the discussion that was being had on this article that I saw person mentioned something along the lines of how Oh tick tock isn't that bad because, you know, here's a, here's a bunch of links of things about how, you know, you can learn all kinds of interesting science topics and all this stuff. And I'm thinking, and how is this any different from YouTube? So here, here we go, we've got a guy and I looked his profile. And he's like, he's like, I believe, as an engineer of some sorts, we have somebody who's, you know, at least based on all like, metadata criteria is somebody who should be intelligent. And here he is, he's saying, Oh, you can learn so much by watching, you know, 10 second videos about physics, horse manure, it's, this is no different than then any of these other things. You're just consuming things to make yourself feel good. This is no different than people who buy books and don't read them. You know, oh, I bought a book. So therefore, I'm smarter. No, that's not true. Yes. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 31:07 Ladies and gentlemen, if you buy a book and put it under your pillow at night, there is no such thing as osmosis. Paul Truesdell, II 31:12 Well, some people believe that. And so you know, oh, I watch a 10 second video about this cool science phenomenon. So now I'm, I'm a, I'm a real, real, real, real happen in science person here. It's like, it's just this dumb. Of course, most of these people, you know, they don't know anything. As you would say, I don't know shit from Shinola. They don't know anything. You start asking them details about the specifics of the things that they profess to have a grand, grand fascination or obsession with them. It goes about three centimeters deep, and they're like, their heads gone sideways like a dog when you're asking them where's the food? Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 31:46 Yeah, yeah. They spread their manure widened far, but centimeter. Hey, listen, real quickly, centimeter deep. I was gonna mention to you there is a guy who looks like he's going to take over let me see here. Who's this guy? He's gonna take over the military effort for Putin. They call him the architect of war. He's got he's got a funny look an eye and he reminds me of Ernest Bofill. In the movie, You Only Live Twice a James Bond movie. If you look that up. The guy has a scar on his eye and has that? Yes, kind of. It's just, it's a classic. Paul Truesdell, II 32:28 You're talking about valus Valerie Garrison mom. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 32:31 So he put these two guys together. The James Bond guy from 67 is like, this is his daddy. And this is a son. Paul Truesdell, II 32:39 Also, my understanding about him is he's the equivalent of their head of their joint chiefs. So he's like our General Milley. And Choi Gu is is the head of their ministry of defense. He's Putin's friend, he is hopelessly corrupt, and inept, and trigger trigger alert for all snowflakes. He's retarded. As are a lot of the people in Russian leadership, yeah, like, like, in the truest sense of the word, like their their understanding of the world, and everything around them, is literally retarded, in that it is behind everybody else. And it is only amplified on things that only people in Russia would understand how to bribe people how to get along in an extremely corrupt society. They don't understand how our world works at all, just like most people in our world donors to how their world works at all. So that's why anybody who knows who professes to know anything about this conflict, one way or the other, how things are going to shake out are usually just thrown darts at the wall, they don't understand. Because they don't understand how their world works. Their world is scary. It is a black box to most people. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 33:54 It is the definition of corruption. Paul Truesdell, II 33:57 Yes. But it's it's the whole society values that like Russians will say, Oh, would you rather live here or there? And they'll say, oh, Russia is way better, even though you know, they will spend most of the year in like New York because they're rich Russians. Russia still better. You know why? Because in Russia, they don't get in trouble for anything. If they get arrested. They just bribe you. Yeah. So therefore, Russia is a better country. Like that's the kind of value judgments they place on things. So, but that's society wide. Like, you know, another good example is I Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 34:25 were systemic, you can't fix a systemic problem. Yes, it's, well, it's Paul Truesdell, II 34:28 not even a here's the problem. They don't view it as, right. It's just it's a cultural thing, which means we're incompatible in dealing with them. Right. So a good example of this was I saw a interview. Well, yeah, it was an interview. I believe it was interview. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It's a story about a woman who camera how old she was probably in her 40s and she was talking about how modern Russia is terrible because the Basically everybody has all these freedoms and whatever in the Soviet Union provided for everybody way better. And, you know, I think she's talking about how expensive everything was, and you know, just whatever. Basically, her core criticism came down to the weird kind of very controlled, free market that they've implemented in Russia last 30 years, and how basically, she didn't like it, and she liked the Soviet Union better. Okay. So I was like, Okay, I'm sure I want to know where this is going. So her this person that was, I think, was an interview her she wanted to this person was interviewing and asking more detailed questions, because they were as confounded as you and I would be based on this. And basically, what it turned out was, she was mad, because in the Soviet Union, her father was like, the like, like the manager of a train company, or something, or manager in a train company. So because of that, you know, the trains are very important. And she her she and her family were very high status. And believe it or not, they got unlimited access to toilet paper. And that was one of the things that she doesn't fill up paper is not free anymore. You have to pay for it. Versus like, but anybody can get toilet paper. Now. It's available at every store and plentiful quantities. You don't have to bribe people or be a special class to get it. And she said, Yeah, that's the problem. How do you fix? How do you can't? How do you fix a country with people that have people who haven't lived in that for a majority of their lives, and they're complaining that they wish they could go back to their childhood, where you know, things may have been really shitty, but hey, at least my parent was, you know, he worked for a research institute. And you know, we got special privileges, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 36:48 where there's nothing you can do about people like that. I mean, just I didn't know Paul Truesdell, II 36:51 where to start with that. It's just, it's just Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 36:53 effed. About a month ago, month ago, I was having a conversation with a client who's quite religious, very Christian. And I had made the I made the comment that not decimation, because that's 10. But annihilation, that we need to turn Russia into a parking lot, Paul Truesdell, II 37:12 if they want to behave the way they're behaving? Now? I don't disagree. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 37:15 And I said to him, I said to these this couple, I said, because they are a ruthless, low class subhuman species. There just you can't deal with these people. I know I'm pushing it. I don't care. But these people are just bad news. And if she said Paul Truesdell, II 37:31 ticular, the ones that are doing the stuff that we took on Yeah, basis. Yeah. Good example is today. Got to see a Ukrainian soldier who was captured, like a month ago. And yeah, they found his body, his head and his hands are missing. So we can only imagine what happened there. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 37:48 Let me finish my thing. And then I want you to explain to people how you have such insight into what's going on over there. But I mentioned this lady, I said, Well, did you ever hear the story of Saul? Not Paul, but Saul, and how God commanded him in the book of I believe it's in the book of Psalms 15, somewhere in the area of four or five or six, verse four, or five or six is where God tells Saul to kill these people. But he says kill their men, women, children, even their baby slaughter cattle or sheep, their camels or donkeys everything, okay, that's what God commanded. If you are a person who reads the Bible, okay, so that's why it was installed into this so gold testament on their ass. See, here's the thing, that's the problem. You have people who are Russian oligarchs who put on fancy stupid religious attire, you know who that guy is? Who is now the, the Orthodox leader of whatever Paul Truesdell, II 38:54 over there. Yeah, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church is literally a criminal mob boss. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 39:00 Okay, and so because he wears crosses and whatever he's just you know, immune from everything. But he uses that kind of language in sites. Oh yeah, for sure. sources like this to say God has commanded us to you know, annihilate the Paul Truesdell, II 39:17 shove we also have Russian propagandists out there doing the same thing to their to their Chechen forces, telling them that they're on a religious holy war for a law to go after these horrible people who want to kill them all. So I mean, yeah, they're they're utilizing every possible thing to whip them up into a frenzy. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 39:40 Yeah, and the reality is there's no such thing as journalism everything is propaganda in one way shape or form or another and the poor dumb sucker who actually believes that there you know, he's going to be a journalist doesn't isn't gonna get his stuff published. And if he does, no one's gonna read it. You come on, you know that. Good example, how many how many Dead Russians and Ukrainians have you seen, Paul Truesdell, II 40:03 I couldn't Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 40:03 count 1000s, literally, literally 1000s 1000s and 1000s. And you watch videos that we get feeds from all the time. And Paul Truesdell, II 40:12 I mean, I just I just pay attention to news sources. And I'm gaining a very primitive ability to read this stuff. Um, I figured by the time this is over, I'll be able to actually read, for the most part, Ukrainian and mild amounts of Russian they're not. They're very different. They're It's very strange. Anyway, as somebody who's trying to learn and don't know, it, it's taken me the better part of a year to figure out whether somebody's writing in Ukrainian or Russian to figure out how to properly translate it. It's It's funny, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 40:41 but on top of that, not only are but then if we want to see video nearly live. We have those satellites. What's the last name of that damn company? Yeah, there's several Paul Truesdell, II 40:53 satellite services you can get and they will task a satellite for you. Sometimes it's expensive. Sometimes it's already been done for you. And you can pay to get live well, not live feeds, but a pretty high resolution, satellite pictures various that you can actually see what's going on. So yep. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 41:14 And then we have people who claim to be economists and forecasters in a cave, all these names they use. I mean, we do forecasts and make no no bones about it. But now they're the very same people who have said, Oh, the Ukrainians are doing a phenomenal job and listening. Oh, now the tune has suddenly switched to oh, there's so many Russians. They'll just bum rush them. They'll take Come on. Yeah. Do you honestly think they sent their worst soldiers to invade or their best they'd like you to think that? And if they sent their worst, why are they going out to the prisons and the crazy farms and dragging people off the street to serve Paul Truesdell, II 41:55 both sides or sustaining casualties? Obviously, but it is. It is. It's it's a mess. I mean, the whole situation is a mess. But Russia is obviously suffering worse, just due to the fact that they're the ones attacking. Like, that's just that's just always that's the rules. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 42:13 Russians remind me of so many of the episodes on gold rush. That stupid guy with the beard. He's a veteran. What's his name? Whoever he is? I don't know. You know, we always want to throw him under the bus. Yeah, the Paul Truesdell, II 42:24 the, the social media pages say they want to they want to skip button for his sections. Yeah, it's very funny. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 42:31 What's his What's his problem? It's a Russian problem. They don't have extract, if you want is none two is one three is two. You said that for years? No. It's the same thing. Just they have no spare parts. Just an old military as if you go to Parker's novel? Oh, yeah. He's got Paul Truesdell, II 42:48 containers full of extra stuff. Yeah, I don't know the thing. Now. That's funny. You know, just shortly, Tony beats short, little commentary about the show. It's it's funny, because that show shows how you have a guy who has built a very, very, very successful operation. And when they show it he's doing it's just boring. Now. It is. And it's boring, because he's that successful, like, things don't go wrong. Oh, no, they have to really dramatize and to crank the music up. Oh, no, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 43:19 I'm Bumble to replace this belt, bum bum bone limb, like six of Paul Truesdell, II 43:23 them in a trailer over here because they properly prepare for everything. It's just not a big deal. Where are these other guys? Like, oh, no, they've got to go drive, you know, six hours one direction to go to replacement belt? Because they didn't. They didn't stock enough because there's something weird is happening. You know, it's just, yes, you're right. The problem is the problem with the Russian military in general, is the low value on human life. That is the key key problem. They do not place any value on it. So therefore, none of their calculations on anything that they decide. Do they care about that aspect of it Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 44:02 and families as well have been documented where they really don't give a damn that their kid or their father is. Can I get the cell phone back? Paul Truesdell, II 44:10 Yeah, yeah, no, I see. I saw a video. This is months ago now. But it was an interview with a POW. A young young kid. And the the they were he was on the phone with a Ukrainian who was there making this video anyway. And there he was talking to his his family and the mother was more concerned about where his cell phone was than the fact that he was captured. She didn't care. She was like, your grandparents bought you that phone. Where's the phone? Okay, that's extremely disturbing. I can understand if that's the most valuable thing you own, I guess but, like, Why do you care about that versus the fact whether or not your son is live anyway, but you know you I can't remember somebody said this recently. I don't know if it was one of these forecasters you're talking about or not but you know, it's it has to do with, you know how you value human life, if you take 10,000 people to go and take an airfield, for example, which is one of the objectives in the beginning of the war, and you lose 9999 of those people, of those initial people, and you have to reinforce it, and it takes all this extra time, and it's just a giant blunder. But eventually you capture their field. In the Western military tradition, it would be that would be a massive cluster, you know, what? The whoever's in charge, it would be embarrassing. Whatever, right? It would not go down in history books or something good. Right. In Russia, they would be like, Oh, objective completed. They don't care how they did it. They didn't. Okay, yeah, our timelines behind, but we eventually got it done. And that's just how they do things is crazy. It's absolutely crazy, like, perfect example, is the logistics problem. The Russian logistics problem is so deep, it's unfixable. And this is the reason they'll lose the war has nothing to do with lack of will of fight, which they don't really have a will to fight. Not like the Ukrainians. They don't have Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 46:02 traffic and transportation command and control lows, Paul Truesdell, II 46:06 being an ability to do manufacturing, because they have that have infinite people. I mean, they have 140 million people to pull from to do menial manufacturing, at an early 21st century level, like that stuff will still win wars and high enough volume. It's not that it's it's not any of these problems, other than it's purely logistics. And the what I'm talking about here, I mean, I think we've talked about it before, but the logistics on surface are very simple. It's their transition from being integrated into their own world, as the Soviet Union to being integrated into the Western world because the Soviet Union last, believe it or not, contrary to what the psychos who gave document who gave demand orders to NATO, in December of 2021, who wanted to reconstitute the Soviet Union, back to its 19 Night, pre 1997. Borders. I'm not joking. This was what the head of NATO said, or the military head of NATO said this week, because they're doing a little bit of a PR thing, I think running up to Sweden, or Finland getting into NATO anyway. I didn't know that this is a thing. I think they wanted to keep this quiet because they didn't want scare people. But this is the reality of what we're dealing with. You've got a country who is insane enough, who they literally want to just just rollback time. And that's not going to happen. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are part of NATO. They don't want to they're part of the EU, they do not want to be part of Russia, that's not going to happen. These people are on drugs. So they have muscled up militarily, that they could give it doesn't matter. They're part of NATO. So stay with me, the Russians, if they were to reconstitute their military power and invade, they could take out either any one of those three countries in a day. They just have more people I mean, you know, think, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia each have like 3 million people each, like they just don't have a lot of population. But here's the thing. They're part of NATO. So they have a guaranteed defense arrangement, unless NATO wants to look as stupid as Russia ces to their NATO competitor. And they're not that's not going to happen. And what I'm referring there as CSGO is this Russian NATO that included a bunch of different countries, one of them is Armenia, Armenia, got invaded by Azerbaijan again, broke all the peace agreements and Armenia asked for CSTO help because they're like we're being invaded please help. They they they got they got ghosted on that request go in Armenia is basically like their their little NATO project is falling apart. Anyway, but so to put the logistics problem are twofold. And it has to do with the with the the lack of human care about humans and that sort of thing, the value of human life, the logistics on its whole, or I guess it's three things, it's what I said it's the integration of the east and the west into, you know, more of the Western style system because they've lost it's the which has degraded their own domestic manufacturing capabilities in a significant way. And we've talked about some of these details over the past year, you know, roller bearings and all kinds of weird, very niche things that will have a huge amplifying effect. And I can tell you now that the reports that I've seen are the satellite photos and these types of things do confirm 1000s of Russian rail cars being piled up in depots because they don't have the necessary equipment to repair them. Because oopsie because things were out I mean, these are things we talked about in the past year that this was stuff that was going to be a slow boil, but eventually like this stuff was gonna start to crescendo and it's gonna get ugly. I'm obviously their airline industry is comical. Russian airlines are running on basically cannibalizing our Mine is just like the Iranians have done for the past forever. That's another slow burn that's with reduced flights, there's not as much need and you know, it's just slowly going to burn most of what they have down. That says nothing about the fact that like, several 100 of those airplanes are owned by Western companies, so they effectively have stolen them. So it's billions of dollars in, in internationally settled lawsuits from these seized funds that are going to be redistributed to Western companies to compensate for new airplanes at some point. But so the other the other aspect to it, that's important, as we've talked about the lack of standardization for transport, they have no pallets, their trucks don't have tie downs for things like pallets. They don't use forklifts. They, you know, everything in Russia is boxes, it's Boxes, boxes, it's it's animal boxes, apparently, they have like, like eight or 10 Different size boxes. And that's how they put most of this crap around. And the problem with that is, is that that relies on people, so they don't care. They're just like, why would we standardize and boxes and, and have more stuff to maintain with, you know, forklifts and all this other ancillary equipment, we can just hire, we can just use this not hire, we can use this free labor that we have with conscripts that we pay, like, I'm not joking the equivalent of like, $10 a month. And they can just love boxes around all day for Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 51:24 Yeah, and for those for those who have worked on a farm, there's a reason and you know, the reason why if you've been on a farm, hay bales are a certain size. Yes, exactly. And pallets have a certain Skiff on them. I mean, I could go on for hours that use Paul Truesdell, II 51:40 boxes are a certain size, you can pick them up with one person, you can pick them one with two, yeah, that's it, weight and contents are determined are determined by the fact that of one or two people. Like that's it. So that manpower thing also applies to how maintenance is done. And this is something that I've learned a lot about with reading, you know, there's been all kinds of funny memes about how, you know, the least, are the most sane, you know, it's like a picture of a crazy person, that's like the most sane, you know, Ukrainian repair depot engineer, go, and, you know, because it's like, Oh, hey, West, the West is here, we're gonna give you a bunch of tanks. And it's like, you're, you're not giving me just, you're not giving me new tanks, you're giving me for new kinds of tanks with four separate supply chains, and four of everything that's different, the only thing it's the same as like, the fuel and the ammo that it uses. And everything else is different. Obviously, at least we can give them parts and stuff. And these things are well documented. And these guys can look at manuals and PDFs on their phones, and they can call you know, the companies that make these things and ask their engineers to help them out with things, of course. But that's the thing I didn't know until fairly recently is that, you know, that's actually not a problem. Like, our stuff is documented. There's like videos and training documents available. And it's, you know, we design these. So here's another aspect, we design our, our like, Bradley system, infantry fighting vehicle, it's as expensive as a Russian tank is, but there's a reason for it. Everything in there is designed to be serviceable by the people that are driving the thing are cruising. Yep. And as somebody I know, who's in the military would say, he would just make sure to, he'd remind everybody in the room, he's that kind of person, that you do know that tankers have the lowest ASVAB score on the army, right? The standardized tests that they take, like you didn't know, they have the lowest aspects. He's reminds me anytime you talk about tanks, he's gonna remind you of calling them morons. His people, and this is a guy who, you know, was in units that require the highest ASVAB score. So you know, he's a little bit a little bit smart on the average cat, but he obviously has a very, very, very, very, very low regard for tankers. And, you know, I'm guessing that has a lot to do with actual real life experience, you know, interacting with some of these. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 54:06 Rosco shoot that way. Not there. So you know, it's like that movie with Gosh, what was it? The movie where? Sergeant Bilko? Goofy? Yeah. Paul Truesdell, II 54:24 That's exactly right. That is exactly right. Just imagine Sergeant Bilko you get the tankers. Yep. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 54:31 But isn't it funny how so many things in movies come back to be real? Paul Truesdell, II 54:35 Yeah. The best movies in the world are ones that are true. Idiocracy is telling funny story, Idiocracy? We're not at like, 2827 or whatever your it was, but we're getting there. We're getting there. But so the point is, is that let's just say that these are not the highest qualified people in the military. You know, they're the people that are wearing. I mean, you know, it's a generalization, but, you know, the military works on average. because they work on numbers everybody does. It's a management game. If those guys can repair them, then anybody can. Here's the thing. Our guys aren't really know, they're not that motivated. They're not as motivated as these Ukrainian these Ukrainians that they're going to send to operate these, these western tanks and stuff, I'm guessing the first crews are going to be some of the more qualified guys that they have in our entire military. Because they want to make the most use out of them. Because it's not just how you use them. It's I mean, it's not just how you know, using them, like as a physical object, it's also how you use them on the battlefield. So it requires a little bit more thinking anyway. So long story short, is basically that that's an important thing to remember. They're there, they're designed to have certain repair compartments, things are easy to get to, oh, this computer is more likely to go bad. So it's on a easy to replace plug and play sled, you know, just little things like that. maintenance and repairs are easy ish, right? Considering it's a multimillion dollar, you know, several dozen tonne hunk of steel roll around. Russians, on the other hand, don't do that. And this is a very important thing. They don't do that. They don't care. You know, their thinking is, we can make the tank way cheaper. We are okay. So to get back to us real quick, we go and build a tank that's extremely expensive, right? Or let's say Bradley thing may cost you know, half a million dollars more than something that isn't designed as well for repairs. Because when we go and buy something we buy them for, you know, basically what we call like lifetime lifetime cost of vehicle that includes the maintenance of the 1000s of hours of operation. We talked about that with the F 35. Yes. And like it, we buy it as a whole unit, the lifetime value of it, including spares and repair parts and like all this stuff that goes into it. But here's the thing, we have a volunteer military. So those man hours cost something to repair stuff, right? So when that tank goes to the supply depot to get its treads repaired and get all the different spindles tightened up. And like all that stuff, you'd hope all that very easy. It's as easy as possible, right? Because if you know all these optimizations over the lifetime of a vehicle that's going to be in service for 20 or 30 years, cost an extra half million dollars, but it has 1000s of hours less maintenance time. That's when it's it's a business, right? It's no different than corporate America pricing out a printer. Well, this one requires less maintenance. Well, that's the one we're buying. We don't care if it's 20% more expensive. Because the employees time is always going to be more expensive than, you know, whatever the fat, whatever number they come up with, right? In Russia, they don't care. This goes back to the manpower problem. Why do they don't they? Why would they care that a thing requires, you know, 1000 more hours of maintenance over the lifetime of the machine. They have conscripts? Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 57:53 Yeah, just press them into service. Paul Truesdell, II 57:57 Now the problem is, that's a good decision to make if you are a Russian and you're in the middle of basically indefinite peacetime, and you never plan on going to war. If you plan on going to war, and oh, crap, all of your stuff is actually being pressed into service. And as of now, I think they've lost like, you know, the better part of 10 or 12,000 vehicles. Yeah, that maintenance time is not is not something that you can spare. So you have stuff that's getting minimally repaired and sent back out into the field. So you can just see how this stuff, domino effects and domino effects and domino effects. So you start adding all these problems up? Yeah, I mean, this, could Russia in theory, turn it around, and whatever. Yeah, in theory, they could, but it requires such systemic changes to their entire way of life. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 58:45 Well, we've talked about this yet. And I've talked about this on my private podcast for clients and for friends. The problem with the Russians is it is a legit thing. A lot of their stuff comes across by what by rail. All this? They have very little. Okay, so here's a couple things. If this goes back to the days when the dinosaurs used to walk around, and these meteors hit us and we had this glacial melt, and that's how you got these big rivers. The United States is blessed North America is blessed with a lot of navigable waters that nobody else it just is not the way it is. You know, you hear people say, Oh, the Amazon is just one river. Yeah, and a lot of it's not really navigable in the sense that we have it's it's it's really hard Paul Truesdell, II 59:34 and you can see it online now. Go watch some videos of people navigating these these waterways. Oh, man. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 59:39 Yeah. So I mean, like, just the Mississippi, just our Mississippi is such a major thing. The cost of shipping things by by by water is just phenomenally less expensive and rail is so much less expensive than truck, which is so much less expensive than airplane. So when the economy hits the skids, you know Okay, well, you get dependent on certain things. My point being trains or songs are cool, but they're a railroad track, boom, boom by Paul Truesdell, II 1:00:06 buyers, it requires a significant amount of more infrastructure. Yep. So Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:00:11 the Russians, if you really want to take them out, you know, they've they fought the Germans, you know, the Russians have had wars, so many on their land. They're screwed. I mean, they literally are screwed. But it takes very little strategic planning to lock that whole place down Paul Truesdell, II 1:00:27 in modern day Russia is extremely vulnerable. There's no question. But here's the thing, they don't have any neighbors that give a shit about them. This is the problem. Even the Chinese, this is the problem with Russia. Nobody's going to invade you. Nobody cares. Nobody wants your useless land. But here's the thing. They care. And that's all that matters, right? It's like, you know, the phrase that comes to mind about Russia, and NATO and all this stuff? It's like a no, no, you don't understand. I care because you care. Yeah, are you I don't care about what you have. It is not valuable to almost to anybody, any of their neighbors. They only care because Russia cares. That's it. If Russia would stop being an asshole, there's no other word for it, then I think everybody would be more than content to let all this stuff go. But here's the thing they've in the public's eye in the media, accessible for everybody in the 21st century, they're committing a genocide that is not going to go away. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:01:25 And I gotta tell you, there's there's a lot of people on the on the right that you I go, Yeah, I've made them and they don't care. I actually say You do realize this as a modern day just of monumental proportions. I did. I was talking to somebody recently, I said, You do realize that at least a quarter of a million children have been taken from their parents. Several million women had been taken out. What do you think you're doing with these folks? They're using them as breeding stock Russian these? How dare you say, Oh, well, they have right. How do you do that? Paul Truesdell, II 1:01:59 And people wonder how people and in history have so easily ignored. Things that have happened. It's not hard. When there'll be nobody if you ask me you can you can tell people to their face? What's going on? Most people just shrug. I don't care. My groceries are more expensive. It's like, those people are useless. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:02:20 Other than old Cubans. Nobody knows what went on. With Castro. Nobody knows about mousy tone. Nobody knows about Pol Pot. EDM mean. I mean, oh, Hitler, everybody knows that. But they don't know about all the other atrocities that are out there. Paul Truesdell, II 1:02:34 Russia, Russia, how about Russia? It was simple when there Russia and China. It gives Russia and China alone are responsible for so much death and destruction and pain and suffering just in the 21st century. I mean, a 20th century is amazing. And obviously, it looks like that's continuing into the 20th century and some people just don't care. I like that Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:02:56 Reagan phrase, if not us who have not won no, if not, now, when? Exactly. Fauci I want to move to Fauci on this thing, you know, Fauci is a guy that had a PhD and every time he opened his mouth, everybody's like, Oh, Fauci, if Fauci says. Fauci says it. It's like, it'd be dope Paul Truesdell, II 1:03:12 in any head of an ad, you had the equal and opposite reaction from the other people. Oh, anything? He says, obviously, a lie. Exactly. He's trying to do some magical, like, Voodoo to kill everybody or something. Yeah. And he, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:03:25 well, he, he's doing what he did with this idiot. Economists that we know. He may have a PhD, but his He has a PhD who piled higher and deeper and wider. Because if he there was nothing he didn't know about. If he had no knowledge of something, he would give you an answer. Oh, well, why are fire alarms on walls read and have a key? Well, that's because, you know, no idea, but he'll give you an answer. Okay. So it's like our Scooby that's insane Paul Truesdell, II 1:03:53 character flaw right now. And those people that do that and can't just when you come up with a truly confounding question for them can't go. Hmm, I don't know. I don't know somebody who can't do that. Avoid them. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:04:07 So we've got a guy who's going to run around the country talking about Scooby Doo vans and all of the all the bombs in omen. He has this thing and I've got this thing I want to bounce off. Yes. It's called an entertainment economist, an entertainment economist. Paul Truesdell, II 1:04:24 He's trying to assume like the, like the geopolitical version of Milton Friedman. Yep. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:04:30 Yeah, yeah. What's that? Charles de gras save whatever. Paul Truesdell, II 1:04:35 Oh, no. Adele deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye the Science Guy, Bill Nye the engineering guy Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:04:43 and then an Al Gore. You know, we're all gonna drown the global warming. Paul Truesdell, II 1:04:47 He doesn't have any degrees. He's you see his ranch is vice president. He's Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:04:51 no seriously did you see this? Was that bad or what? I'll have to save the World Economic Forum. By the way. If you go and do go do to Google machine and go to will YouTube, just type in Al Gore goes nuts at the World Economic Forum. Paul Truesdell, II 1:05:04 He is a sad, sad little man. Oh, here's all I can say, I didn't even get angry or anything. It's just, you're just sad. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:05:11 But see, this guy says that Russia is transporting all of their weapons and munitions. They don't have trucks like they used to. So they're using everything they can find, including Scooby Doo vans, and then he does this thing. And if it hits a bomb, or a bomb, boo, boom, I don't want to be around there. You want to explain? Because I can't I just want to throw up this guy. Paul Truesdell, II 1:05:33 So yeah, this guy explains how Oh, because they're not being transported and standardized methods of or systems, which I agree is a problem. And it's going to severely hamper their ability to do anything. Oh, you know, they're really dangerous. Oh, moving artillery shells around in a in a unsecured thing is really dangerous. Like, yeah, it could be it could be. But here's the thing with Russian artillery, especially, there's really old crap they're digging out of the out of the storage. One, you have to install. Here's the key, you have to install the fuse onto the top of the artillery shell Oh, fuse. And the actual main artillery shell are two separate components and are always stored separately for the obvious reason that it goes boom. But here's the other thing. The Russians seal the install area, it's basically a threaded cord effectively, and the top of the artillery shell. They basically put this like resin like black resin crap in there to basically seal it. I've seen videos of Russians and Ukrainians literally taking a flathead screwdriver and a hammer to break those who break the resin out of an artillery shell. If a guy slamming a hammer isn't going to break it, I don't think a pothole is gonna break. But here's the here's the here's the tell though. Here's the tell. Just think very simply how a especially a large caliber, like 150 255 millimeter 120 millimeter mortar artillery shells think about how they work. Just for a second, just think about how they work. You take this thing, you put a giant bomb underneath it and you shoot it out of a tube. I don't think it's going to blow up on accident. It does happen. Artillery accidents do happen. Usually it's due to faulty shells. Yeah, that happens. But I'm pretty sure the problem isn't the Scooby Doo van. But it's a good talking point. Oh, yeah, it is good talking point for for the experts have nothing. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:07:41 For those of you who are not knowledgeable in the ways of propaganda and persuasion. What you do is you say something that's kind of obvious. Paul Truesdell, II 1:07:49 So it's simple. Yeah. How do you do propaganda? You tell two truths. And then you tell lie. Yep. And you just keep repeating Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:07:56 it keep going and going and going. And one of the things that you and I enjoy doing and for those who are not clients and don't know us, we like digging into the background of people in start following. I mean, we don't get their tax returns. But you do, you can get a lot of good information on people. And you start seeing, huh, this is interesting. Now, this organization is a NGO, and they got money from this NGO who got paid from this NGO. And then you started going, Oh, you're corrupt. You're telling a cute little story just to corrupt people. And so, hey, by the way, I think I know who the next vice president United States is going to Paul Truesdell, II 1:08:36 be. Okay, you got me there. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:08:39 I'm telling you, okay, you're gonna you're gonna, you're gonna laugh, you're gonna say no, but we're, I'm telling you, like Idiocracy. Is it coming? It's coming. Right? Paul Truesdell, II 1:08:47 All right. Next vice president ex vice president ex president is President Camacho or whatever is his VP. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:08:57 I'm going to go with a person who has a doctorate a person that will be Goldberg said, Oh, he's a good doctor. I go to her. So Biden, so I'm gonna here's what I'm gonna do. Paul Truesdell, II 1:09:10 He told me Joe Biden. Joe is going to get Jill he's going to do Yeah, he's gonna do what's the House of Cards? Oh, that's Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:09:17 okay. Live key. Got it. That's we got to promote this style ever. I would be on board with that. Okay, so Joe's gonna come see Joe is gonna take a bigger role in the campaign, and then speak for him a certain point because he's, and then what you do is I say to Camilla, Camilla. You need to go back to California. You need to be governor and say you need to get yourself set up for governor so that then you can run because you got the age. You're okay there. And so when? What's his name was Governor Gavin. What's his name? Some new someone new, some goes. You know, you get to go back there. But she'll probably wind up doing a Nixon where Nixon as vice president ran for governor and last, but that's gonna be the push to get her out. We'll get Dr. Jill Biden and we'll look country's gonna feel good about it. She's only what? 71 now, so she says, yeah, she's only 71 Yeah, he dies and it but there's precedent for it because, you know, Kevin Spacey was, you know, and of course Robin Wright she became president president and there's a Michael Kelly somewhere. So you know, there's somebody in the woodwork. I'm telling you, I swear to God, you wait and see is going to be talked about. Paul Truesdell, II 1:10:23 Okay, so in the real world, something interesting is happening there. They're sending. What's his name to run for Feinstein seat? Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:10:31 Oh, what's that guy's name? Yeah. Shaped shaft shaped lazy. I whatever, isn't it? Yeah. Paul Truesdell, II 1:10:38 And I think it's interesting, because I figured I could have swore that when Feinstein was gonna bail, then some would run for seat, because his political career is kind of petered off rationally because of how he handled COVID. And some other stuff here, Chef, Chef, that's Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:10:54 I may not be a chef. Paul Truesdell, II 1:10:57 I don't know. Whatever. Chef Adam. Gosh, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:11:00 darn it, Sam. Paul Truesdell, II 1:11:01 You're thinking of the Golden gold man. Yeah, no. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:11:05 He's been right on gold. Well, yeah, well, no. 335 times out. Yeah, the joke. Somebody wants. Paul Truesdell, II 1:11:11 He's predicted 31 of the last eight recessions. As chairman will buy gold buy gold. Anyway. So yeah, so the thing that's interesting, I could have swore they would have placed him there. Because he has he has the look. He has the he is a real politician. Oh, yeah. I figured they would have placed in there for six years, let them kind of boost up his, his federal bone a few days. And let everybody forget about all of his past indiscretions and his issues, managing California, he can get elected off of his pick California popularity. And then, you know, in a couple of years, they can roll them around to try and run for the White House when he has a little more cleaned up. Instead, it looks like they're gonna block him. Because his terms almost off, right? Yeah, I think it's up in like, two years or something. So instead, they're gonna so I think he's gotten on somebody's somebody's bad list. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:12:12 Yeah, he's, he's gonna be like Jerry Brown. Do you remember the story on Jerry Brown and me his dad was governor than Reagan comes in Pat Brown was governor. And then Jerry Brown becomes governor. And then he vowed that he won't comes back and then he won't have been mayor of Oakland and Jerry Brown might even be dead by now. I don't know. Paul Truesdell, II 1:12:29 I don't think he has I think he's alive. But yeah, I'm going Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:12:32 with Jill Biden for vice president in 2024. Kamala Harris for Governor of California. And Gavin, what's his name? Again? You Paul Truesdell, II 1:12:41 haven't for retirement? Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:12:42 You haven't for retirement? Yeah. Okay. Paul Truesdell, II 1:12:45 I think there's an orange man who needs to be in retirement too. But he's out there. He's He's swinging away. Not that anybody's listening. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:12:53 You know what's interesting though, his Paul Truesdell, II 1:12:55 Rhonda stances. He's just he's just not loyal. He's. He's just not loyal. Like, okay. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:13:03 I was a Haley. The Haley girl was yes, yes. Paul Truesdell, II 1:13:06 Yes. Yes. Yes. governor of North Carolina. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:13:10 Haley. Sumpter. Another Yep. Yeah, she she. Oh, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley. Paul Truesdell, II 1:13:15 Her comment. It was good. I gave me a chuckle. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:13:20 Yeah. If she says something. We don't need another 80 year old or something like that. Or what was? Yeah, she has time for a new generation to lead. Paul Truesdell, II 1:13:27 And yeah, she made a comment some some prayer. You don't need to be at to be president. Yeah. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:13:32 Yep. Survival of America matters. She said, Well, survival. The President is Yeah, well, Paul Truesdell, II 1:13:38 at this point, the people that are running or that are positioned to run on both sides. Yeah. I mean, they, we legitimately could have President die in office this next time around. I mean, I figured it would have been, by now at least, especially with Helen Trump and Biden are but Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:13:52 this was his terms, not over yet. She said, I don't think you need to be 80 years old to be a leader in DC. Paul Truesdell, II 1:14:00 I agree. Yeah. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:14:01 I agree. Yeah, no, here's the thing. You know, there's a I'm in my 60s. And I remember my dad when he retired, my dad was in his 70s when he said this. He said to me, son, I don't know how I got things done. When I was working, how I did it all. And, you know, there's you slow up. You've seen that with me, I'm, I'm still very fit. I'm very, very wise but but you slow up you know, it just is what it is. If you're really being the president knighted states that there's a lot of pressure cookers. I mean, you You gotta do your job makes you wonder do they do their job? Who's really running thanks, by the way, what's, where's Obama? Where did that guy go? Paul Truesdell, II 1:14:48 I haven't heard anything about him in months since the election really? wasn't interesting Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:14:53 how you had bush 41 Then you had Clinton. You had bush 43 And you had Obama. You have you had four presidents who I think all had the same father. They were just one. They're all the same. I don't care anyway said. You really think about they just continue to same? Oh, yeah, Paul Truesdell, II 1:15:12 no that anybody who anybody who ascribes a tremendous amount of difference between between any of the presidents in the past 30 years is on crack. Yeah, they're not looking at the same things I'm looking at. They're looking at like social media and network news fights, which are not what a president is. It's a policy and what they're able to get done and kind of compromises they're willing to make and it seems like everybody's little, little bit of variation. The same thing is that guy Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:15:41 Tucker Carlson saw on TV Oh, yeah. What about debt? Was his name? Lemons, lemons, lemons. Paul Truesdell, II 1:15:49 I don't know that he is I haven't paid attention to what's going on with CNN. I know they're in upheaval. I think last time I heard anything about CNN, you said they were considering bringing on a late night comedian. Yeah, yeah. Must not be going very well over there. But as far as I know, Tucker Carlson is still getting his talking points from the Kremlin. So that that that avenue of information is still going there. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:16:14 Is Alex Jones still eating green frogs? Or gay frogs? Paul Truesdell, II 1:16:18 I don't think so. I think he is he's still a an RT mouthpiece as far as I know. Not directly, of course, because I don't know. I mean, he, I guess has filed bankruptcy and the courts have given Yeah, he filed bankruptcy 400 infinite money judgment against them for being Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:16:37 $1.5 billion. Who cares? He's never gonna pay nobody's you know. Well, I Paul Truesdell, II 1:16:42 mean, that's also what that was in a Texas court, I believe. So you know, the reality is, is there's limits on that stuff and then it'll get canceled a couple minutes. Go through bankruptcy in it'll get washed away. It's no big deal. What's his like? He didn't he physically harmed anybody. All he did was just, he was he was he was hit a judgment place to get him against him for the crime of being an asshole. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:17:07 I do get a kick out of the fact that he's got that he calls this thing Info Wars. Oh, yeah, Paul Truesdell, II 1:17:11 it's an info war and he says it right there. There's a war for your mind. It's like yeah, you're you're the one that's out. You're You're waging war against our minds. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:17:20 I actually pulled him up on the on the iPad globalist globalist rush to start World War Three to distract public from massive COVID crimes against humanity. Paul Truesdell, II 1:17:32 If you think anything that happened with COVID is a crime against humanity any worse than anything else that's happened and you need to open your eyes. I think we all got off pretty easy on that one. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:17:42 Hey, let's get out of here but Paul Truesdell, II 1:17:43 China Yeah, last I heard there were still backups at like cremation facilities and you had just absolute chaos Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:17:53 this guy is this guy is really pumping the Russian did He's holy crap. Yeah. Group of Pentagon officials secretly lobbying sending F six teams to Ukraine report says yes. Oh yeah his sources Sputnik Zero Hedge RT Zero Hedge Paul Truesdell, II 1:18:13 literally, literally all Russian propaganda. Yep. And that's the funny thing is you've got you've got your RT and your Sputnik people. And there's there's a lot of feeders that feed off that feed off of those sources. But then the other one that's interesting, there's Zero Hedge and there's a ton of these like, want to be Wall Street bros. They're like they're like oh, like, like Twitter investor bros. And yep, all they do is they like share around the same articles and because they shared a thing and they talked about a stock they think they're real, real geniuses. Anyway those people are people that are in like the Zero Hedge sphere of influence those people are in that same circle there it's very interesting. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:18:58 I gotta tell you I wish the Securities and Exchange Commission would go after these pumping dumps on these media influencers I Paul Truesdell, II 1:19:05 thank you thank you could put if you could put so many people in jail for obvious securities fraud with crypto and and all the stuff that's going on it's insane that that's another one we should talk about more because we're going to talk about a little few months ago now about the bank Minh and FTX and all that but there's there's been a lot of extra fallout in that whole scenario with with with with the wincle vie twin. And I have I saw by the way, the worst thing in the world Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:19:42 you gotta get me that movie that when both Zuckerberg and I got to watch it again because Oh yeah. Paul Truesdell, II 1:19:48 Well, you know, the worst thing in the world. I will leave this you can put a length this will be a little teaser for anybody. The Winklevosses have a band Oh, surely, they're into crypto, they have all this stuff. They're getting sued by the SEC, one of their partners basically went belly up, they owe hundreds of 1000s of people money through their crypto lending thing. The SEC now says it was securities. It's a it's a mess. They're gonna get, they're not going to get in as much trouble because they didn't steal, but they're gonna get in trouble. The best part is they have a band. And there's videos on YouTube of their very terrible band. It is the saddest midlife crisis thing you've ever seen. They're not kids anymore. They oh, these guys are in their late 40s or early 50s are some late they're starting to look haggard. And they're doing the Hey, man, we're in a band and we have they literally literally, it looks like they have like paid actors to like, cheer for them and stuff. It's, it's, it's bad. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:20:52 What causes people to go off the rails like that? I just Paul Truesdell, II 1:20:56 don't get around them who don't tell them? No. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:20:58 Somebody should have told Tom Brady? No. Paul Truesdell, II 1:21:01 There's there's a there's a there's a single biggest problem with people with a lot of access to influence or money or both. Is they? I mean, a good example. Here's another another one of these social disasters is is the liver King. I'm you I'm sure have absolutely no idea who this even is. So this is another this is not crypto related, but we can talk about the liver King liver. Yep. Okay, Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:21:27 we can talk going into red book too. Yep. We can talk about Oliver king Paul Truesdell, II 1:21:31 as well. And this guy is a classic example is he suffers from a lack of people around him who will tell him no. And so he became a very popular person and he made an asset of himself in record time. And we'll leave that one for next time. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:21:47 Okay, so we we have this red book that we write things in and we'll we'll come back to it. I want to leave we'll leave we'll leave this one last thing here. I gotta give Alex credit for one thing mainstream media characterizing assault by black officers. Now it's not an assault. It's a battery. It's a it's an ass beating battery. Okay. assault by black police officers on black victim as latest example of white supremacy I give him credit. For boy, he touched their fourth fifth and sixth rail on Paul Truesdell, II 1:22:22 on that because he's he's he's Russian propaganda. So he dabbles with a little bit of, you know, let's call it like, quasi pro white slash white supremacy talking points. You just sprinkle those in there. But we as we found out in our research, I mean, that's what a lot of what Russia is doing with domestic politics is they just get a little bit of all of all the fringe, right, there's one I want to touch a little bit of all? Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:22:52 Well, we were talking earlier, and we were we were talking about, I saw that they were all black. I didn't didn't know that. They were all I didn't know who these guys were. I just saw that. This happened on what app this is lousy. But I think, you know, we really ought to be cognizant of the fact that if, if these officers were indeed hired, with standards, different from what they had in the past, this is just something that's come up in the media of lately. You've got a black victim and black officers, you're gonna have a hard time making this, you know, anything other than what it is, Paul Truesdell, II 1:23:29 how is it? How do you how's it racial? It's not right in this, but here's the thing, street dispute or something. But here's the thing. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:23:37 Memphis is overwhelmingly black, the trial is going to be held in Memphis. The question will be will they get a jury? If the jury has had victims of crime? You see where I'm going with this? Will they convict these guys? Paul Truesdell, II 1:23:51 Well, I don't. I don't see any problems. They're just this this is this. Here's this is Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:23:57 this is not racial. This is this is real life issues. Will the nation explode if they get found not guilty? Paul Truesdell, II 1:24:05 Here's, here's the thing. This is a case of, I'm not a resident of Memphis. And I don't care. Right. Fair enough. Like this does not affect me at all. This is this is like getting mad that Oh, no, a cop in Topeka. He pulled somebody over and it's an outrage. I don't care. Yeah. The thing is, the United States is 50 states. Plus what for protectorates or whatever it is, whatever. 50. Let's just say 50. For Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:24:33 Guam, but make sure you evenly balanced it out. Paul Truesdell, II 1:24:35 We want to flip it over. Here's the thing, in any other place in the world. This is like the European Union. There's a whole bunch of countries all in one place. I don't care. I don't have enough time in my head to worry about everybody's problems. And every little place backward or not all over this all over this country. It's huge. If you haven't traveled this country, you don't realize how big As I advise you to go up, because it turns out you can't go very far in one day by car. The place is massive. And unlike Russia, we have the world's largest road network, I believe at least the largest high quality road network that I have. Unlike Russia. You can't go many places where you can't go for five miles and see people. It's places full. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:25:21 You can't even go 15 blocks from Gazprom without running into potholes and dirt roads. Gas prom is what I say gas prom. Yeah, gas prom. Yeah, Paul Truesdell, II 1:25:30 the billion dollar gas prom headquarters. Yeah, what is it like a quarter mile away from the waterfront because it's on the waterfront there in St. Petersburg. A quarter mile off off the main track you have what looks like a shanty town with a gas pipe running through it. Yeah, yeah. But so but the point is, this place is huge. There's a lot of stuff going on a city dispute like this, just like what happened in Minnesota. Just like it's happened in all these other places what you had on the ordinance Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. Some somebody associated with a BLM organization pull a gun on cops and they killed him. Oh, that they tried to whip that up into something. Oh, I don't care. I'm tired of this like manufactured outrage just doesn't matter. Oh, but I just think it's because of the people involved. The criminal justice system is going to work it out. If there was wrongdoing involved then people are gonna get prosecuted to the best extent that we can and here's the things I'm just this this fake outrage Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:26:33 it's gonna be Court TV all this is gonna be a great one. I'm telling you. What was the lace? We just had another one that was oh, the Floyd trial. Paul Truesdell, II 1:26:40 Yeah, it was a George Floyd. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:26:41 I had that one. Paul Truesdell, II 1:26:42 The biggest one that and the other one was Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:26:46 of course I we had OJ Paul Truesdell, II 1:26:48 trial was was very funny. That's the Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:26:51 one Yeah, Johnny Depp Of course, as a civil case in 29 years ago, we had OJ Simpson a long time. So Paul Truesdell, II 1:26:59 but yeah, I mean, here's the thing, these things just waste everybody's time just like tick tock and his other crap. What does it do? It wastes your time from doing stuff that you like that you enjoy, and as you say, are profitable and can control if you if you veer away from not doing any of the anything that fits in that realm. You're wasting your time you're wasting your life. Everybody Everybody in this in this world in this country does not exist to be a permanent full time activist. Stop wasting your time. I will leave Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:27:27 you with this do what you like are good, profitable and can control remember to minimize and maximize your time, effort, aggravation and money appropriately with that I'm out of here. My name is Paul Truesdale. Joining me is none other than Paul to and Paul to so we're out of here hustling a seminar how to yose that was good one later. Unknown Speaker 1:27:46 Like to start with a list of people I can do without a proctologist with poor depth perception. Any woman whose hobby is breastfeeding zoo animals, a cross eyed nun with a bullwhip and a bottle of gin, a waitress with a visible infection on her serving hand. And any man whose arm hair completely covers his wristwatch. Okay, that's enough. If you sell $10,000 worth of this stock, I will personally give you and I hope it happens.

You could pay off your mortgage. On my house. John, one thing I can promise you, even in this mock is that I never asked my clients to judge me on my witness. I asked them to judge me on my losers because I have so few. And in the case of error time, based on every technical factor out there, John, we are looking at a Grand Slam homerun. I'll do four grand 4000 That'd be 40,000 shares. John. Let me lock in that trade right now and get back to with my secretary with an exact confirmation sound good, John. Great. Hey, John.
